DETECTING couNTERFElTs.

Experience Absolutely Necessary to Pro-
ficiency in Detection.
I, nor any one else, believe, can
tell how to detect counterfeits. There
are people teaching the art, if may so
call it, bya system of ''points." While
| do not deprecate the school, still I
think it would be of little benefit to me.
Iwould require to see and study coun-
terfeits rarely met with. 1t would be
of value to beginner. as it would lay
the foundation of an education in that
line which could only be acquired by
long experience, as it might be years
before he would come across such bill
as his teacher gave him "points' on.
Here in a rush you require quick eye
and good memory, and l claim that
experience is the only protection. l

the exception of four years. During
those four years new counterfeits APP
peared, and with them / am not famiI-
lar. If in doubt / would take the bill
and study it. would be out only that
amount, and it would save me in the
future. Some peculiarities of coun-
terfeits are very pronounced. In 1870
or 1871 there appeared bill on
the Traders National Bank, of Chi,
cago, and more miserable sample I
have never seen. The country was
flooded with them, but they did not
last long. The next which noticed, and
few of which may still be met with,
was the United States Treasury twenty
dollar bill. 1t was considered danger
GUS. The counterfeits of late years are
much better, being made by the photo
graphic pen and ink process. One of
the most dangerous / have ever seen
was presented last week. 1t was a ten
dollar National Bank of Richmond,
Ind. 1t had no particular peculiarities,
except what is peculiar to all counter
feits-bad lathe work. They succeed
in shading the letters, but the fine
scroll work they can not accomplish.
They are unable to get the fiber or put
the silk thread in the paper. In some
counterfeits, almost perfect, the APP
parently silk thread would prove to be
only ink. Silver counterfeits are all
alike, with dark, leaden look. They
all have greasy feeling. and can be
detected by feeling only, with the eyes
shut. Gold is the most dangerous to
handle, chiefly from light weight
Some fifteen years ago twenty dollar
gold piece appeared with ring, but
very light. Atthat time experts claimed
that gold piece could not undergo
any manipulations and retain the ring.
Upon investigation it was found that
the light piece had been split by some
fine process, the gold scooped out of
the center and replaced with melted
glass. and the halves put together
again. Many other ways of taking
from the weight and retaining the
sound might be given. So. you see,
experience is necessary to proficiency
